From: Gene Spafford <spaf.gatech@UDel-Relay> Date: 16 Sep 82 13:58:20-EDT (Thu) Could you possibly give me the reference to that article you mentioned? That was the article about errors in standard library routines. I would also appreciate any reference you might have to the IEEE floating point math standards. I've just about finished writing a whole new set of floating point routines for Prime 50-series computers. The standard routines are simply awful, including some that are so far off that they effectively redefine some of the elementary functions. Any info you can pass my way would be appreciated.
